The Salvation Army of Lee, Hendry and Glades Counties has started its 2017 Christmas assistance sign ups.

Residents can register now through Oct. 27 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Lehigh Acres Outreach Center, at 25 Homestead Road N., Suite 42; walk-ins are welcome.

People need to bring their photo ID and proof of Lee County residency like a utility bill, as well as proof of income and benefits.

The assistance can be used for children 12 years old or younger, with proof of birth date. Additional information that is needed includes: the child's clothing and shoe sizes; a need, such as shoes or clothing; and a wish, such as a toy.
